((People must really not have liked the last chapter... I barely got any reviews. Well, here's the next chapter!))

"So you're telling me that Malfoy came into the Hospital Wing to apologize.. And then he shook your hand?" Harry asked Ron as they entered the common room.

"Exactly!" Ron replied as he and Harry walked towards where Hermione sat with her nose buried in a large book.

"Are you sure we're thinking of the same Malfoy? You know, hideously pale, rather oblique expressions, annoyingly bleached hair, always getting us detention, that Malfoy?"

"That's the one," Ron said, sounding as astounded as Harry as they sat down next to Hermione who didn't even look up at them.

"Hermione? Are you listening?" Ron asked her.

"I'm kind of busy right now," she said, still focusing her attention to the book.

Harry looked over at Ron who rolled his eyes. "I don't remember getting any homework over the weekend," Harry mumbled.

"Haven't you learned by now, Harry? It's rarely ever-just schoolwork;" Ron rolled his eyes again as he slumped back into the couch.

"Actually..." Hermione began.

"Here we go..." Ron murmured.

"I'm studying for the O.W.L.s. You do know that they..."

"Will determine out entire future," both Harry and Ron mocked.

Hermione frowned. "Well I don't see either of you studying," she snapped.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just..." Ron paused for a moment in deep thought. "All right, I just don't want to," he shrugged.

"Oh come on, Hermione. Just put the books down... just for tonight," Harry made a face that looked like a sad puppy dog.

"What's so special about tonight," she asked curiously, now looking up at them.



Ron obviously didn't know, but Harry nodded at him to make something up. "Well...uh...we would tell you... but then we would have to kill you," Ron looked over at Harry who nodded with a slight grin.

Hermione sad something under her breath. "Oh come on Hermione! It'll be fun" Harry said again.

"How do you I know you're not just setting me up to get me away from studying?"

"Cross our hearts," Ron said as he and Harry made X marks on their chests with their fingers.

"This better not be a set up, or you both will pay." She replied. Hermione paused for a moment and saw them grinning wildly at her, awaiting an answer. "Oh all right. I guess I can postponed studying, just for tonight... now you can tell me what's going on."

"Sorry Hermione," Harry began.

"You'll just have to wait and see," Ron added as Hermione frowned again.

"Fine," she said as she dropped her book down and stood up. She crossed her arms and walked up to the girls' dormitory.

After she had left, Harry turned his attention back towards Ron who looked confused. "So what are we doing tonight?" He asked with a risen eyebrow.

"Don't you pay attention at all in Astrology?" Harry asked. "What's scheduled to happen at exactly midnight?"

Ron's face lit up. "The meteor shower! That's brilliant!"

Harry grinned. "And I found this really cool place in the Forbidden Forest that I found when I was helping Hagrid last year. We should be able to see it perfectly from there."

"Let's see... going into the Forbidden Forest, going out after curfew... going out way after curfew actually. I wonder if Hermione knows we'll be breaking school rules?" Ron laughed as Harry shrugged. "So... whom are you going to take along? Not Cho hopefully."

Harry mumbled something under his breath. "What? I couldn't hear you?" Ron said. Harry mumbled the same thing again and Ron hit him slightly on the head.

"I'm not going to laugh."

"Fine... I invited Ginny," Harry murmured. Ron paused for a moment but then burst out laughing.

"You're kidding right?" Ron asked still howling with laughter. Harry shook his head and Ron stopped laughing.

"You... and my kid sister? That's real gross, Harry," Ron said with his nose scrunched up.

"I really like her Ron, and well, are you mad?" Harry asked silently.

"Are you kidding? Heck no, I'm fine 'bout it. It's just sort of weird," Ron shuddered.

"So you're not mad?" Harry repeated.

"No... But if you lay one finger on her... I swear you'd be wishing you were in Azkaban," Ron threatened. Harry chuckled but Ron frowned at him.

"Oh... you were serious."

-Meanwhile-

Hermione walked into the girls' dormitory. "Hey Hermione" said Ginny who was lying on her stomach on her bed reading a book.

"Hi," Hermione replied solemnly.

"I can't wait for tonight! Can you?" Ginny said giggling slightly.

"Oh good. So you're coming too." Hermione said. "For a moment I thought that it was going to be some joke," Hermione smiled.

"Well, I mean, why would it be?" She asked as Hermione shrugged.

"So do you have any idea where we're going?" Hermione asked curiously, sitting on her own bed.

Ginny shook her head. "Harry wouldn't tell me," she said shrugging.

"Same here... I wonder where it could be?" Hermione bit her lip as they brainstormed.

"Well, it is the weekend... maybe they're taking us to Hogsmeade or something," Ginny said, tapping her quill on her book.

"I just hope it's nothing that would be breaking rules. I mean, prefects aren't supposed to get in trouble." Hermione sighed.

"Well, we'll find out tonight then, wont we," Ginny replied, finally closing her book.

"I guess so," she shrugged.

"So... are you going to kiss him?" Ginny asked as Hermione frowned.

"Kiss whom?"

Ginny rolled her eyes. "For someone so smart you can be awfully dumb sometimes. My brother of course!"

"Why in the world would I want to do that?"

"Sheesh, you really are clueless," Ginny rolled her eyes again "It's obvious you fancy him, and more that he feels that same. You two are just too blind to admit it. I know for a fact that I wasn't dreaming when I heard them talking about you."

"You're quite delusional, Ginny. I mean honestly," Hermione muttered, not believing a single word she had said... except for one.

Ginny's face lit up. "So you do fancy him!" she giggled.

"Come on Ginny, let's just get ready for tonight, all right?"

"It's not like you have any risk with telling him."

"Ginny, you don't know. For all you know... I could like someone else," she muttered.

"Who?" Ginny replied, raising an eyebrow.

"Well... I'm not quite sure actually. he was wearing a mask." she bit her lip.

"What kind of mask? Like that kind of mask that muggle people wear when they're stealing something... which I really don't quite understand."

"No, no. He was wearing a white phantom mask with a long cloak and hood." Hermione replied as Ginny gasped.

"Uh... Hermione? The mask you say... uh, did it happen to have a small dent of the left side?" Ginny asked stuttering and smiling brightly.

Hermione pictured the phantom again and nodded. Ginny's face lit up even more. "What?"

"Uh, nothing," Ginny muttered as she stood up. "You're right, we really better get ready," she said, almost squealing with laughter.

~*~*~*~*~

"So what you're saying is that Ron put on the mask and began spilling to Hermione how he feels?" Harry asked Ginny. They sitting at a small, isolated table in the corner of the room, waiting for Ron and Hermione. Ginny nodded. "Well, how do you know it was Ron and not some other guy?"

"Harry, I practically know every single detail about that mask. That was Fred and George's mask that they used to be-witch to haunt me and Ron." she shuddered. "And Fred and George were dancing with Angelina and Alicia the whole time so it was the perfect opportunity to sneak up to the common room and get the mask."

Harry's mouth hung open. "That's brilliant." He gaped.

"That's my brother for ya," she smiled.

"Well, why didn't you explain to Hermione that Ron was the phantom?"

"She won't listen to me at all. Like I told her; for a smart person she can be awfully dumb sometimes. Not to mention stubborn."

"I guess it's a good thing then. If anything Ron should be the one to tell her, not us," Harry muttered as Ginny nodded.

"Maybe so," she grinned mischievously. "But that doesn't mean we can't help them along."

"Do you have a plan?" Harry asked.

"I might..." she smiled. "Operation RWHG begins tonight."

((A/N: I know that I used the preview that I gave you last chapter at the end of this chapter but *shrugs*. I know that RWHG is an extremely stupid name for the plan, but I couldn't come up with anything else. Oh well! Review please!
